language An
ALGOL superset with high level instructions
for low level actions, e.g. interrupting another processor on
a multiprocessor system. Its single pass compiler was very
fast: over 250 lines/s on a 10MHz processor.
ESPOL was used to write the MCP (Master Control Program) on
["The B6700 ESPOL Reference Manual", Burroughs, 1970].
